Behind The Team: 5th Gen NU.

[Jmaculata]

I run HP bug on my cress gives reuniclus a piece of my mind

[Graceclaw]

Thanks tons! I've never heard of that core, I'll have to try it out somewhere! Been looking to replace my old offensive RU team because it's outdated =/ Maybe I'll try it there. Really appreciate the vid!

[sunchenpwnd]

is it my computer or is thsi video kinda soft? i've got volume controls up as high as they can go and i can barely hear you :(

[Themasterksd]

Instead of musharna i would run a beheeyee

[Sabin41]

I'm a pretty huge Torkoal fan as well, he has massive defense and received a huge blessing in air balloon. Without lefties he's fairly vulnerable but can pull off suicide sets and is a good wish pass candidate

[WaterpokemonFTW123]

Hey there guys, is there any1 that could possibly teach me a few basics about wifi battles (EVS, Nature Etc) i've never had a wi-fi battle b4 and i really want to get into wifi battles but i dont wanna get my butt handed to me every time so i need some major help plz Thank you inbox me if u can help :)

[VictiniExpert2400]

you must be the defensive master

[gleeson630]

i get hp ground for probopass and electric types/other magnetons but tbolt is stronger against steel, poison, and fire types... i guess its the better option though considering ice really isnt really that prevalent in NU, but it does hit grass and ground types harder than flash cannon. and fucks up harvest tropius and torterra.

[TheMrShadowblaze]

With garbodor why not weak armor

[TheAcousticKind]

@TheMrShadowblaze Because I run him as a defensive set not suicide spiker ..

[TheMrShadowblaze]

@TheAcousticKind ok wat does stench do anyways

[TheEvilRohanite]

Very interesting to watch, good stuff as always Pwnobi. :D

[seinalaz]

Why dont you use giga impact on slaking?

[gleeson630]

@seinalaz im pretty sure you have to stay in next turn with it after you use giga impact. even though it sounds good to use because you're gonna slackoff next turn anyway it kinda makes you easy an revenge kill.

[Sharpedophile]

You naming threats and good counters just got me in the mood of making a team, and I feel like I'm making one with you even though you don't know it. Which sounds kind of creepy, but they don't call me the Sharpedophile for nothing.

[zenyricardo]

Good vid but aren't you afraid of people counter teaming against you?

[TheNTSocial]

Is there any way you can boost the audio on your videos? They're pretty quiet, even with my volume turned all the way up. 

[Dalaserman]

Such a great video, in depth description, competitive thinking, not even boring since you're constantly narrating and typing. Awesome, awesome job.

[FlamingFaith]

Thank you so much for uploading this. It's really helpful to see how you take the metagame into consideration when constructing a team. Though I'm not very experienced in the NU tier, I think it's worth mentioning that Cryogonal could make a decent rapid spinner. The stealth rock weakness hurts a lot. but it does have access to recover and its great special defense allows it to wall a good deal of special oriented pokes. Also, you should really stop being lazy and use return over retaliate.

[xFicciouss]

I am lvoing these kind of videos keep em up!!!! Btw i started watcjhing one Piece its awesome!

[stanbobbler]

Why no Giga Impact on Slaking???

[Dalaserman]

@stanbobbler lol

[stanbobbler]

SANDSHREW FOR BEST NU RAPID SPINNER!!!

[zitroooz]

Hey I have a question about tiered battles, if a poke that could learn a move in the earlier gen but can't learn it in gen 5, is it not allowed to have it in a tiered battle of gen 5 then?

[TheAcousticKind]

@zitroooz It can, just not with new abilities.

[DerfEnjoii]

Great video but it was too quiet. :)

[GunMonkey696]

have you thought of using giga impact on slaking because he cant attack next turn anyway due to truant ;)

[TheAcousticKind]

@GunMonkey696 I have, everyone keeps suggesting that. I don't like it. After giga impact you can't switch, however after retaliate even with truant you can.

[GraniteGolurk]

Hey Scott :) Normal, Poison, Psychic...... seems familiar :P..... reminds me off lickitung skunktank and slowking :DDDD

[TheAcousticKind]

@GraniteGolurk Indeed lol

[Sabin41]

@TheAcousticKind How do you deal with volt-turn teams? Even in lower tiers they are really putting me off of running Slowking, a poke I've loved since I played ADV

[Rsphazonking]

@Sabin41 Dugtrio.

[Sabin41]

@Rsphazonking Can't trap with Balloon, and gets practically ohkoed from any priority move

[MrHypobaricPiano]

@RyanMhere Weak to Stealth Rocks.

[rockoutloud2112]

Awsome vid. Like favorited loved.

[TheAcousticKind]

@rockoutloud2112 <3

[JaydenRecard]

Miltank is the best pokemon ever. Great HP, defense, moves and its a fucking cow!

[TheAcousticKind]

@JaydenRecard Fuck yeah

[stuffgar]

Butbutbut... Scolipede is SOOOO GOOD as a sweeper...

[theraginlucario]

spinda gets contrary along with superpower from the dw you dont mess with it

[RyanMhere]

does*

[RyanMhere]

cryogonal why dosw no one use him as a spinner?!

[DannyBlake122121]

mic very quiet on this vid but great video ;)

[arrieta96]

For my RU Team I use a F/W/G core in Screens & Taunt Serperior, Wish Passing Alomomola, Rocks and Spinning Torkoal(Decent, fire type for core, and needed for spinning Toxic Spikes), with Eviolite Max HP and Max SAtk Magneton with Volt Switch to Trap and Counter Klinklang and Swellow, Jolly Scarf Braviary for U-turn and being a good revenge killer in general, and SubCM Mesprit to set up using the Screens late game.

[MasterOfPokemonAndy]

Woah, nice team building process man. I really like your idea on a Normal / Psychic / Poison core. Really hope to see you test this team out on wifi :)

[TheAcousticKind]

@MasterOfPokemonAndy I already have a game posted with it!

[MasterOfPokemonAndy]

@TheAcousticKind Well more battles i mean lol

[pknova88]

Isn't Eviolite Wartortle a really good rapid spinner in NU? Haven't played in a few weeks but think it is NU lol. and decent FWG cores off the top of my head can be Wartortle, (Toxic) Spikes Roselia, and Magmortar/Combusken with like Heal Belling Altaria/Miltank lol idk :P nice vid though twas fun listening too.

[DinoDesignsHD]

you should make a NU database haha :D

[chrislws7]

[Quimbyficker]

252 hp/ max. 252 spz def/ 4speed

[piplup10203854]

I do this too, write it out and all that stuff, really helps out what you want to do.

[RRated000]

oh yeah, 30min vid is a great way to inspire me to start posting again... Jks i just my what some call random, unbalanced team, but i call high risk teams.... 2 scarfs, u mad bro

[kapekode]

maybe next time use pokemon online teambuilder. its way better to viazualize stuff.

[froghead56]

Hey great vid! i really want to start battling! can anyone tell me how to start? thanks!!

[6ftHax]

2:33 hey thats me =D

[Sabin41]

Still haven't finished watching, it's quite long but I'll make time to sit down and finish it, it looks really interesting

[Quickbobhero]

Thank you! I need to make a balanced NU team and this helped! :)

[ElCaptaen]

Speak up lol

[LMAOSHIFDTSADMT]

Scott, I really like this video, it's better than any tutorial I've seen to date :D

[BumCrackCookies]

What a good idea! But maybe if you were to edit it down a little more? 30 minutes is precious time in my schedule :L

[inviiincible]

I love the title.

[jrbrunior]

Well thought out man!!!
